RoboDolf

The RoboDolf is an electric robot boat designed to conduct acoustic dolphin research in Belize. Acoustic and visual recording of dolphins is conducted to study dolphin vocalization gain insights into complex dolphin socialization. A robotic boat platform that was silent and had minimal visual impact on natural dolphin behavior was required, and drove the specifications for the RoboDolf. It was built for Rockeffeller University doing a joint research project with Hunter.

I built it around 700 hours and coded a ROS like subscriber-publisher node system using the actor framework in LabVIEW. After this project I started using linux and ROS and haven't looked back :). Lots of features with this project, software, hyrdro and mechanical. Check out the following links for more info:
